Iraq’s economic reform program supported by the SBA aims to address the urgent balance of payments need, bring spending in line with lower global oil prices, and ensure debt sustainability.
The program also includes measures to protect the poor, strengthen public financial management, enhance financial sector stability, and curb corruption. Iraq will require the support of the international community to implement these policies,

Nancy1958: This sounds like promising news. IMF, SBA - Iraq must be doing something right to win approval for this disbursement.
Hstrymknwmn: More good news!! :) :) :)
Wldcat03: First off, this is approval, which is positive news. This certainly means Iraq is following orders and playing by the rules.
Secondly, it's only approval. Nothing has been released and available to use. Iraq still has work to do before the IMF hands over the money.
Lastly, I am surprised the IMF approved of the loan with the latest bombing. They obviously know more than we do.
Stevel: Here is what most of you missed:
Managing external pressures. Key measures include maintaining the exchange rate peg as the key nominal anchor; gradually removing the remaining exchange restrictions; and strengthening the anti-money laundering and combatting of financing of terrorism (AML-CFT) framework to stem illegal and speculative demand on foreign exchange.
I like this part.

Now another observation our team found or notices, go look at Exchange rate (dinar per US$; period average) you will see a rate for 2013, 2014, 2015 but nothing for 2016. Interesting to say the least. Perhaps that need to wait until 2017 to post 2016. Please do not read too much into this. It is only an observation.
It really does look like things are coming together very nicely. Steve
